Used Guns For Sale

Armco's revised drop-in/visiting hours are working well! Wednesday from 1:00 to 5:30, plus Saturday all day (except 12-1) gives us those times to visit, talk, tinker maybe, have a coffee, without the stress of trying to get a job finished and still keep about three conversations going :) It has turned out to be a highlight of my week, and I'd like to thank all of you for your support and understanding. As before if you're traveling through we can make other arrangements :) We still take a break from answering the phone on Tuesdays and Thursdays and that has really upped productivity, too! Thanks, guys!! (and ladies... :)

All Prices are in Canadian Dollars and Note! No foreign (and US) sales - sorry! Used Guns are all subject to a one week inspection period. Return prepaid for full refund if not satisfied.

We will also sell your handgun or long gun for a 15% commission (or $50, whichever is higher). We need it here for inspection before accepting for sale. We'll sell your presses, shooting gear, and parts, too, at a 25% commission, or by special arrangement on larger items. Call or email for details.

Shipping and Tax extra (unless otherwise indicated) - Tax is 12% in BC, 13% in the Maritimes, 5% elsewhere. Shipping in the $18 to $30 range with full insurance depending on where you are and the value of the gun....

You may notice the line-up below changes constantly. Sales have been brisk and a lot of guns don't even make it to this page. If you have a special item you are looking for, let me know and I'll contact you as soon as something likely shows up. Well over half of the guns I get have a home already picked out :)

Click on images to enlarge - I usually have lots more pics of the guns below, so just ask! AND trade-ins always welcome.

Please note: We are closed (to phone calls as well) every Tuesday and Thursday to allow us to get your gun work done :) Due to the sheer volume of messages on the phone, we will also no longer be using voicemail. If you don't get an answer, try again later (or better yet, email, fax, or PM us :) I sincerely hope this inconvenience will result in more time at the workbench and a lot of happier customers!

This lovely STI Hard Chrome Edge in .40 S&W is like new. I have to keep checking the tag to make sure I'm not holding the new one from the showcase :) Sold, tuned, and prepped here. Gun, case, one mag - $2149. With the six mags - $2499 - add the holster - $2549. Trades welcome of course :)
Just finished going over this nice Norinco NZ85 in 9mm. In some ways better than the CZ it copies - it has the ambi safety :) 2 mags, stock grips plus Hogues - nice trigger - one year warranty. $449 - Trades?
This is an almost new Jericho 941 - basically a Baby Eagle with a light rail. In .40, this is a sweet shooting gun. Comes with case, 2 mags, Hogue and factory grips - $729 - trades?
A nice pre-B target type CZ75 in 9mm. This gun was fitted with Millett Target sights and sports a nice trigger pull. Internals show very little wear. 2 mags - $499 - Trades?
The long-awaited S&W Model 17 is here! Long target barrel, wide hammer and trigger (gorgeous trigger pull) make this a Premier target 22 revolver. Condition is easily over 90%, very little use - $749 - Trades?
Here is a one-of-a-kind bullseye/target, NRA Action, and "just plain fondle and shoot" revolver. Built in 2004 on an S&W K frame by Cylinder & Slide in Nebraska, it has everything, including chamfered and numbered chambers. Bar-Sto ported stainless barrel and underlug, Aristocrat rib and sights, Hogue grips, the C&S Roller Action trigger is the best I've ever felt - in .38 Special and test fired only - over $2000 invested in parts alone - Now $999 - Trades?
This Smith and Wesson Model 686-4 is tuned and smoothed to perfection (we couldn't resist :) Trigger pull is actually smoother than my own 610 Competition revolver! Very few rounds - I'd estimate well under 1000 .38 Specials - case and accessories - $769 - trades?
Nagant Model 1895 revolver in unissued condition. There are a few refinished ones available - this one was new! I sold it to a friend a couple years ago, and he shot about 50 rounds through it - now traded in on a fancy shiny gun :) This one is really exceptional, and there is ammo available (for local buyers)... $399 - Trades?
What a shooter! Built right here from a Model 64 with hardly any rounds on it, and a brand new PPC top end with Bomar rib sights. Miculec kit in it, a velvety smooth trigger, perfect lock-up! I tested it and thought I only had one hit on the target at 20 meters. Not so - all six were in a slightly enlarged hole!! Must have been a fluke :) The Hogue exotic wood grips I added sure make it feel nice - and look good! .38 Special of course - one year warranty - $990 - trades?
This Smith and Wesson M&P in .40 has seen only 50 rounds. Still not broken in, it comes with the case - and the medium grip inserts - what almost everyone uses. The others are missing...I can find some if needed :) $569 - Trades?
Smith and Wesson Model SW40 Sigma in 40. These guns are directed at the LE market and currently produced. They have a nice smooth double action only trigger - 8 lbs - which feels a lot like a well-tuned revolver. Beautiful shape - I'd estimate well under 500 rounds - 2 mags - $499 - Trades?

Prohibs:

Mauser model 1896 Broomhandle - the Bolo model in 9mm. A 12(6) Prohib, this is a fascinating firearm. Bore poor, original finish gone, appears to have been cold-blued to a brownish colour, shoulder stock is an after-market one. All the same a neat gun! $599 - Trades?
Nice Colt Diamondback .38special - 4" so 12(6) prohib - Pachmayr grips, lovely bore and internals. What looks like cold blue or something at the muzzle is just the camera. There's a little bluing wear... $569 - Trades?
Nice 1918 Erfurt Luger. Very good shootable bore, all matching except magazine which is proper for the era. This is one of the good ones! $819 - Trades?
This Smith and Wesson Model 18 Combat Masterpiece is a 4" .22LR revolver - yes, 12(6) - in VG condition. Aftermarket grips - shows very few rounds and is very smooth. Lockup perfect! $549 - Trades? This Ruger 4" Security Six 357 is in great shape and wears a set of custom Roper grips - slightly altered for left hand use - I like that! A 12(6) prohib. Now $279 - Trades?
Lovely Dan Wesson Model 15 in .357 Magnum. This is the (prohibited) 2", 4", 6", and 8" set. Shows few rounds - no wrench or feeler gauge, but relatively easy to get - $749 - Trades?
Colt 4" .357 Target model. This great old gun is the forerunner to the Python and except for the ribbed full lug barrel it lacks, is identical... Very tight and obviously babied - a Python with the old-time classic Colt look for way less money...Now $399 - Trades?
Unheard of these days - an Unfired Liberator! The nicest I've seen - except for a teensy bit of darkening at the bottom of the right side, it is as it left the factory :) These small 45acp single shot pistols carried spare ammo in the butt, had an unrifled barrel and were dropped behind enemy lines during WW2. Intended to be used as assassination weapons, once a "real" gun was collected, this was passed on to another resistance fighter. At war's end, they were (almost :) all gathered up and crushed, so usually we only see the odd rusty relic... $1095 - trades?
This Taurus Model 80 in 38 special is unfortunately only 4" barreled. Appears almost unfired, in great shape - $189 - Trades?
Iver Johnson .32 revolver - over 85% factory nickel remaining - works well - I couldn't resist shooting this one (can shoot .32ACP as well) - $199 - Trades?

LONG GUNS:
How I want to keep this one! A rare Marlin 1893 take-down in 38-55 with a lovely bore. This is a shooter as well as a real collector's gun. All original, except the stock has been lightly sanded down at some point. Tight and smooth (way nicer than Winchesters :) Would I shoot this one? You bet!! $1449 - Trades welcome.
Even older - this one is a "Large-Frame" 1881 Marlin in .45 Gov't (45-70). Dates from around 1884, I'd say. Bore usable but not pretty, action tight and functional, wood has been refinished at some point, and a buttpad added. A shame as that likely took $500 at least off the value. $879 - Trades? This would make a great Cowboy action gun with lighter black powder loads...
This older rifle has real class! A Heym conversion of a military 98 Mauser in 30-06, this gun is graceful and comes up so nice! Great bore, solid wood, 100/200M express sights, receiver is drilled and tapped and it comes with bases and rings. $419 - trades?

Marlin Model 883SS Ducks Unlimited model in .22 Rimfire Magnum. Stainless/laminate, this rifle is brand new, unfired - $399 - Trades?


A sniper rifle on a budget! This H&R model SB2 Ultra is a tack-driver. In .223 with a fluted match barrel, Tactical type stock, special 6-18 223 scope with turrets for 50, 55, and 62 grain bullet. I have my bipod on it for looks only- but it sure does dress it up :) Under 100 rounds, this gun had a trigger shoe on it when I got it and it did mark up the trigger guard as you can see, Easily fixable. Without bipod - $399 - trades?
Very nice 12 gauge 3" Remington 1100 Magnum shotgun. 28" Modified barrel, this gun will shoot steel :) New, these are now $1100 - $649 - Trades?
Ruger 10-22 synthetic/blued. Nice shape - no scope bases - $199 - Trades? Sold :)
This is the Ranger version of the Winchester pump gun - the model 120. 12 Gauge x 2 3/4" or 3", with the "Winchoke", this is a pretty useful shotgun in great shape. - $349 - trades?
This neat old Savage 99 is chambered in .303 Savage caliber and although perfectly shootable, the bore is certainly not shiny! Someone has soldered the adjustment screw on the tang sight - looks fixable with a propane torch. The barrel band is homemade but easily removable. A fixer-upper but such a cool rifle! $299 - Trades?


Now here's a fixer-upper! A Cooey 600 in .22LR - at least most of it! $60 takes it!
And another! This is the very desirable Mossberg Model 142K .22 sniper special (at least I thought so when I was 12) No clip - $70...

This is a really nice post-war Universal M1 Carbine in the restricted barrel length. One magazine (original) - $429 - Trades?
Unfired Thompson Center "Greyhawk" in .54 caliber. $399 - Trades?
This is a lovely Swedish Mauser 96 in 6.5x55 Ackley Improved....Great bore, VG action and wood -comes with dies $499 - Trades?
This Mauser 308 was built by Parker-Hale and is a beauty! The famous smooth controlled-feed Mauser 98 action, wonderful wood (very nice palm-swell pistol grip), Bore is absolutely lovely - $539 - Trades?

Anschutz "Achiever" - a lovely youth-oriented .22LR rifle with a superb 3-9 Leupold Vari-X scope with parallax adjustment. Very adjustable buttstock length... $1080 complete - $690 without scope and rings - Trades?
Mossberg 12 gauge Silver Reserve shotgun. Lovely condition, removable chokes - $569 - Trades?

This authentic Lee Enfield No 5 "Jungle Carbine" doesn't have a bright shiny bore any more. A shooter but barely (I always hate to shoot these frosty bores except with reduced loads because they really raise pressures...) A great old gun all the same - $439 - Trades
This is a fancy example of the well-made Felix Sarasqueta O/U 12 gauge shotgun. Chokes? Top barrel has one star and the lower one three...Double trigger, ejectors, still very tight so very little use. From an estate and stored for some time. 2 3/4". $679 - Trades welcome.
Deal fell through so back up again! This one is special - like new and checked through here. Round count appears low - likely under 200. A custom Winchester pre-64 (1957) Model 70 in .300 Mashburn Super, with dies and brass. This is basically a blown-out .300 H&H or .300 Weatherby (these are the best cases to use :) You can fire factory 300 Weatherby with very good accuracy and no noticeable loss of power..Can also fire factory 300 H&H... Now $699 - Trades? SOLD :)
Lightly used Stoeger P350 pump action shot gun - 28" adj. chokes, Camo, 3 1/2" very nice - Now $349 - trades?
Winchester Commemorative Sioux Carbine in 30-30, never fired, never racked - original box in good condition - Now $529 - Trades?
This Winchester Model 670 in 30-06 has had the wood expertly refinished – really brings out the grain - otherwise could pass for new. Wears a Tasco 3-9 scope ready to go hunting! Now $439 - Trades?
Comanche Commemorative Winchester - unfired, no box - Now $399 - Trades? For this price you can cover it in Camo paint and go hunting if you don't want the bling!!
Maverick Model 88 (by Mossberg) 12 gauge 3" bear gun. 18 1/2" cylinder bored barrel, pump action - as new, includes the pistol grip :) - $249 - Trades?

Guns in this section sold or on hold:

I already have one or I'd keep this - and I've had this one for three weeks trying to decide :) A VERY nice S&W Model 49 "Bodyguard". Shows very little carry wear - and appears barely fired.

Now this is not the prettiest .22 target rifle I've ever seen BUT - these sure are accurate! A Tula Arsenal TO3 Russian Biathlon-type with very nice sights. $179 - Trades? SOLD :)
This Taurus 9mm PT92 is a "Beretta Clone", some say a better gun. Sports an ambi safety, not the hammer-drop version of the Beretta - so it can go in the holster cocked and locked. Great shape - 3 mags (yes, Beretta mags work :) - $459 - Trades welcome... Sold :)

The best Russian TT33 Tokarev I've seen! Original finish, lovely bore and internals, 2 mags, all accessories, holster strap parted from all that storage. Made in 1945, this one never saw WW2, and likely stored since. The last pic shows the wrong holster, sorry...$379 - Trades? Now sold :)

These Basque autos are Spanish-made and actually shoot rather well. I used to own a .32 many years ago and recall it as being a decent shooter.
